Pros
Nikel is a fantastic place if you want to work on complex, high-precision projects. The equipment is top-tier, and the focus on aerospace/defense means you’re always working on something that matters. I've seen a number of machinists arrive, get training, then move up to more and more complex projects.
Cons
The pace can be fast and demanding, especially when meeting tight deadlines for major contracts.
